Lemma 36.23.3. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a morphism of schemes with $Y = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A)$ affine. Let $\mathcal{U} : X = \bigcup _{i \in I} U_ i$ be a finite affine open covering such that all the finite intersections $U_{i_0 \ldots i_ p} = U_{i_0} \cap \ldots \cap U_{i_ p}$ are affine. Let $\mathcal{F}^\bullet $ be a bounded complex of $f^{-1}\mathcal{O}_ Y$-modules. Assume for all $n \in \mathbf{Z}$ the sheaf $\mathcal{F}^ n$ is a flat $f^{-1}\mathcal{O}_ Y$-module and $\mathcal{F}^ n$ has the structure of a quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_ X$-module compatible with the given $p^{-1}\mathcal{O}_ Y$-module structure (but the differentials in the complex $\mathcal{F}^\bullet $ need not be $\mathcal{O}_ X$-linear). Then the complex $\text{Tot}(\check{\mathcal{C}}^\bullet (\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{F}^\bullet ))$ is K-flat as a complex of $A$-modules.
Proof. We may write
Arguing by induction on $b - a$ and considering the distinguished triangle
and using More on Algebra, Lemma 15.59.5 we reduce to the case where $\mathcal{F}^\bullet $ consists of a single quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_ X$-module $\mathcal{F}$ placed in degree $0$. In this case the Čech complex for $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{U}$ is homotopy equivalent to the alternating Čech complex, see Cohomology, Lemma 20.23.6. Since $U_{i_0 \ldots i_ p}$ is always affine, we see that $\mathcal{F}(U_{i_0 \ldots i_ p})$ is $A$-flat. Hence $\check{\mathcal{C}}_{alt}^\bullet (\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{F})$ is a bounded complex of flat $A$-modules and hence K-flat by More on Algebra, Lemma 15.59.7. $\square$
